Phage Therapy: Fighting Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria With Viruses

Certain bacteria are evolving to become resistant to our antibiotics. But what if we could kill them with a specific virus? That’s the idea behind bacteriophage therapy. Yale researchers and Yale Medicine physicians are working together to help patients with this form of personalized medicine.

I'm sixty-six and I have an early memory of being in a chemist shop and the chemist opening draws with slides or something and talking to my grandfather and somehow I remember the word phage. It feels so strange to have that memory.

Antibiotics: Prepare for trouble!
Phages: And make it double!

How can I get phage therapy? My dog has a terrible infection. I live in the U.S.

What about bacterio phages for klebsiella in the lungs? I’m very eager for immediate relief from the inflammation (intensified ticking sensation deep in the lungs) and the accompanying chest / lung pain.

Would our immune system get rid of the phages? ive read that most phages are hunted from the environment. doesnt that means they are foreign particles?

Could you also introduce vulnerability to bacteria 🦠 that survive
